Opening chorus and chorale from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. Translation: Come, ye daughters, help me lament, Behold! Whom? The Bridegroom. Behold Him! How? Like a lamb. Behold! What? Behold his patience. Behold! Where? Behold our guilt. Behold Him, out of love and graciousness, himself carrying the wood of the cross. O guiltless Lamb of God, slaughtered on the stem of the cross, always found patient, although thou wast despised. All sin hast thou borne, else we must have despaired. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus.
